The Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris is known for his love of fast cars. However, during a nighttime drive, the 36-year-old found himself in a precarious situation – the community’s reaction may be different than expected.
What’s going on with MontanaBlack? MontanaBlack is currently causing a stir on X, formerly Twitter, not only with difficult hints about free speech but also with his driving behavior.
In a story on Instagram, the streamer reported a critical situation on the highway where he felt his life flashed before his eyes. Instead of sympathy, there is frustration and mockery from the community.
MontanaBlack is not known for his calmness and occasionally loses his composure:
Near-Accident at 260 km/h
What happened with the accident? As MontanaBlack reported in his story, he was driving at night on a two-lane highway without a speed limit. The Twitch streamer apparently stepped on the gas: According to his own statements, he was traveling at 260 km/h when he spotted 2 cars in the right lane.
MontanaBlack says he wanted to alert the cars to his high speed and therefore used his headlights – this is completely legitimate and legal, as the streamer emphasizes. However, one of the other drivers immediately pulled onto the left lane right in front of him, forcing MontanaBlack to “virtually slam on the brakes.”
The streamer complains: Everything in his car flew around, even the iced tea fell over, and his heart sank into his pants. The other driver, however, did not apologize when MontanaBlack finally overtook him and then seriously “gave him two honks.”
Streamer Unintentionally Becomes a Poster Child for Speed Limit
What is being discussed? Although MontanaBlack emphasizes that his behavior was absolutely legal, many users on social networks criticize his driving style. Some users criticize that the streamer was driving so fast on a two-lane road at night or at least should have braked in advance when he spotted the other cars.
Moreover, there is widespread discussion about the meaning of the headlight signal: Some users believe the taxi driver might have understood it as a signal that he could overtake.
Some even go so far as to say that MontanaBlack’s behavior is the reason we need a general speed limit (via Reddit). Others simply mock: “Not the iced tea!” (via X)
However, there are also users who find MontanaBlack’s behavior perfectly fine and defend the Twitch streamer. The heated debate at least earned the 36-year-old a spot in the trends: There are supposedly more than 34,000 posts on X regarding the term “Monte.”
It should be noted, however, that not all posts refer to the streamer, as the term “Monte” also appears in other languages – think of the Count of Monte Cristo. Nevertheless, the sheer volume of posts gained MontanaBlack’s attention, prompting him to share a screenshot on Instagram – but without any comment.
Twitch streamers and cars often seem to be a difficult combination. Although the streaming platform requires not to get distracted while streaming while driving, some content creators seem unable to resist grabbing their phones: Viewers demand a ban on a streamer after a clip goes viral: Twitch concedes and bans him
